Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 February 2026

Debate

Crime and Policing Bill

Contribution

There is no consistency across the piece. For some grievous and egregious crimes, you can be arrested if you come into Heathrow Airport and are known as a person sought for crimes, but for others, under the ICC legislation, you have to be a resident and own property or have British nationality. We are seeking to address that inconsistency with these amendments. I strongly urge them on the Committee because they have such wide support among the community of lawyers and organisations seeking justice for those who have suffered around the world.
